    Are we able to join if we just complete the blurpee challange? I don't eat the f/v I need to and I am lucky to get in one a day.
    I would still like to do the blurpee challenge. :)

    Yes, you will just count your fruits and veggies daily count as zero.

    ****Hand up***** Please Miss, can I be excused the burpees? Can't do them as had op on foot & they put too much pressure on it. At gym, I do press-ups (from knees) instead. I'll happily to that for you.


    2 clementines; apple; OJ; spinach & green beans on f/v menu for today - I'll even eat @Soon2BMrsRamo's share if you let me off the burpees......:laugh:

    I'm in! Haven't done a burpee since highschool (about 20 yrs ago!) and not too certain if these poor joints can handle them. But, count me in! Starting tomorrow...
